Abstract	Prezado Editor, Gostaríamos de expressar nossa opinião sobre o artigo intitulado "Eficácia da hidroginástica sobre a autonomia funcional de idosas: um estudo experimental controlado, pragmático e duplo cego" publicado em seu periódico. Primeiramente, parabenizamos os autores pela realização de um estudo tão importante e relevante para a saúde de pessoas idosas, população cada vez mais numerosa no mundo e em nosso país. A hidroginástica tem se mostrado uma atividade física muito eficaz para melhorar a qualidade de vida de idosos, visto que é uma atividade de baixo impacto e que pode ser realizada por pessoas de todas as idades com diferentes condições de saúde, proporcionando sensação de bem-estar e relaxamento durante e após a prática. É notório que a prática regular de atividade física é fundamental para a manutenção da saúde e qualidade de vida dos idosos, e o estudo apresentado fornece evidências importantes sobre a eficácia da hidroginástica para autonomia funcional de idosas. Destacamos alguns pontos importantes do estudo enquanto metodologia, amostra e qualidade estatística. O estudo foi duplo-cego e controlado, conferindo maior fidedignidade aos resultados e para as análises estatísticas foi utilizada ANOVA para medidas repetidas intra e entre grupos e teste post hoc de Bonferroni para identificar as diferenças significativas. Ademais, os autores controlaram possíveis variáveis de confusão pré teste, tornando a amostra semelhante na variável idade, condição física (todas estavam no mínimo 2 meses sem praticar exercício físico), massa corporal e desempenho no Sênior Fitness Test pré intervenção também foi semelhante entre os grupos. A amostra foi composta por 89 idosas, alocadas em três grupos, cabe aqui pontuarmos que identificamos um erro no tamanho da amostra inicial e final descrita no artigo na página 97 que detalhou como amostra inicial 102 participantes e final 88, quando na verdade foram 105 participantes na amostra inicial e 89 ao final do estudo, conforme n amostral em cada um dos três grupos. ...

Abstract	Packed bed bioreactors were used to remove soluble manganese from a synthetic mine water as the final stage of an integrated bioremediation process. The synthetic mine water had undergone initial processing using a sulfidogenic bioreactor (pH 4.0–5.5) which removed all transition metals present in elevated concentrations (Cu, Ni, Zn and Co) apart from manganese. The aerobic bioreactors were packed with pebbles collected from a freshwater stream that were coated with black-colored, Mn(IV)-containing biofilms, and their capacity to remove soluble Mn (II) from the synthetic mine water was tested at varying hydraulic retention times (11–45 h) and influent liquor pH values (5.0 or 6.5). Over 99% of manganese was removed from the partly processed mine water when operated at pH 6.5 and a HRT of 45 h. Molecular techniques (clone libraries and T-RFLP analysis) were used to characterize the biofilms and identified two heterotrophic Mn-oxidizing microorganisms: the bacterium Leptothrix discophora and what appears to be a novel fungal species. The latter was isolated and characterized in vitro.

Abstract	El presente artículo expone un recorrido sobre el papel desarrollado por José García Silvestre, su familia y otras personalidades como Mariano Camacho, en la industria espartera ciezana. El desarrollo colectivo, la inversión económica y la innovación tecnológica permitieron la mecanización del trabajo del esparto, convirtiendo a Cieza en el primer centro manufacturero a nivel nacional. La crisis del sector a mediados del siglo XX provocaría su desaparición, teniendo un uso testimonial en la actualidad. Gracias a la investigación y recuperación del patrimonio ligado al esparto es posible conocer este capítulo de la historia industrial de Cieza, especialmente a partir del estudio de patentes, archivos y documentos que nos permiten comprender la trascendencia que llegaría a tener esta fibra, incluso en el panorama internacional.

Abstract	Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed gaps and areas of need in health care systems. General practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in the response to COVID-19 and other respiratory infectious diseases (e.g., influenza). Knowing the current flow of these patients and the real needs of GPs is necessary to implement new therapeutic and diagnostic strategies. We sought to learn about the flow of COVID-19 and flu patients in Spanish primary health centers and understand the training needs in both the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. Methods: A total of 451 regionally representative GPs completed an online survey between January and February 2022. Results: Most of the GPs had available infection containment measures (79%) and access to point-of-care (POC) rapid diagnostic testing (81%) in their centers. The availability of on-the-day diagnostic tests for COVID-19 was higher than that for influenza (80% vs. 20%). Most GPs referred 1 of 10 COVID-19 or flu patients with moderate to severe disease to the emergency department (80% and 90%, respectively). Training/knowledge was considered good regarding diagnostic tests and vaccines (85%) but null or low regarding antivirals (60%) and monoclonal antibodies (80%). Conclusions: This survey identified the conditions of Spanish GPs in terms of the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 and flu patients. Respondents' comments suggested that quite radical system-level adjustments are needed to allow GPs to capitalize on the potential benefits of POC tests for diagnosis, reduction of referrals, and monitoring of these diseases.

Abstract	Gracias a la recuperación de un medidor de aceite «Paca», fabricado y patentado en Murcia, nos acercamos al panorama industrial de la región de primera mitad del siglo XX. Recordamos la figura de su inventor, el industrial José González, cuya actividad quedará reflejada a través de su producción de maquinaria, hornillos y envases metálicos. Posteriormente las patentes y marca del medidor serían adquiridas por la empresa «Viuda de Anastasio Alemán», de notable relevancia en el tejido industrial murciano, la cual se encargará de su fabricación, desarrollo y comercialización, junto a la báscula de la misma marca; consiguiendo un alto nivel de competencia en el mercado y que a fecha de hoy forma parte de nuestro patrimonio industrial.

Abstract	Abstract Background In Spain, the risk of imported malaria has increased in recent years due to the rise in international travel and migration. Little is known about the knowledge, information sources, clinical practice, and specific needs of primary care physicians (PCPs) concerning malaria despite the pivotal role played by these professionals in managing the health of tourists. The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of PCPs in Spain regarding malaria. Methods This research analyses data from (1) a cross-sectional nationwide survey assessing the knowledge and attitudes of PCPs regarding malaria, and (2) a retrospective review of 373 malaria cases appearing in primary care medical records (PCMRs) in the Madrid area over the past 15 years to determine how cases were documented, managed, or characterized in the primary care setting. Results The survey findings reveal a modest level of self-perceived familiarity with malaria (221/360, 57.6%), even though 32.8% of the practitioners reported having delivered care for confirmed or suspected cases of the disease, these practitioners had greater knowledge of malaria (80.4%) compared to physicians who reported not having delivered care for malaria (19.6%, p < 0.001). Ten percent of the survey participants did not know the name of the mosquito that transmits malaria, and only 40.7% would promptly request malaria testing for a traveller with symptoms after a trip to an endemic area. Responses provided by younger PCPs varied to a greater extent than those of their more experienced colleagues regarding prevention practices and patient management. A review of PCMRs showed that only 65% of all patients were recorded as such. Among those registered, only 40.3% had a documented malaria episode, and of those, only 16.6% received proper follow-up. Only 23.7% of the patients with a PCMR had a record that specifically indicated travel to an endemic country or travel classified as visiting friends and relatives (VFR). Conclusions The ...

Abstract	Abstract Background Europe has about 10,000 imported cases of malaria each year, or around 80 cases per 100,000 trips to endemic areas. Non-use of chemoprophylaxis in travellers remains the main reason for this. The proliferation of online travel blogs as a source of advice (sometimes the only one used) for preparing a trip to an endemic area may play a role in the decision to use chemoprophylaxis. The aim of this study was to analyse the information offered on malaria in the main travel blogs in English and Spanish. Methods Five hundred travel blogs in English and 100 in Spanish, considered highly relevant were analysed. The relevance were according to different metrics: (1) Alexa Rank; (2) social networks (RRSS) measuring the total followers of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube; (3) number of monthly visits using the SEMrush tool; (4) domain authority; and (5) number of backlinks or incoming links using the SEMrush tool. Results Of the included travel blogs, 57% of those in English and 64% of those in Spanish offered information on malaria, and 79 and 75%, respectively, featured a discussion on malaria written as a blog post or in forum comments. Information on chemoprophylaxis was available in 56.1% of English-language blogs and 10.7% of Spanish-speaking blogs, while its side effects were discussed in 38.6 and 68.8%, respectively (p < 0.001). Content analysis revealed that the information was usually insufficient, incomplete or, more seriously, inaccurate. In many cases, this could discourage users from taking appropriate preventive measures. Conclusions Travel blogs in English and Spanish provide low-quality information on malaria. The so-called “travel influencers” must communicate reliable, verified and quality information on malaria on their channels in a way that could contribute to reducing the burden of the disease in travellers.

Abstract	Case summary Congenital or acquired hepatic cystic lesions in cats are a rare condition. Congenital hepatic cysts are often present as part of a systemic polycystic disease involving several organs. Most cats with hepatic cysts remain clinically normal for their lives, although some patients may show abdominal distension, vomiting, abdominal pain and jaundice. An 11-year-old female neutered Persian cat was presented to our institution 3 days after the onset of inappropriate defecation and urination. This patient had a history of polycystic kidney disease and a small hepatic cystic lesion. Physical examination showed pain on abdominal palpation. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed an increase in the size of the hepatic cyst and a partial obstruction of the biliary tract. Owing to the progression of the hepatic cyst, laparoscopic excision and omentalisation were performed. The cyst was completely resected using a 5 mm laparoscopic vessel sealer/divider device. It was removed from the abdomen through one of the portals and was submitted for histological study. After cyst excision, omentopexy was performed using 4-0 USP braided absorbable material. At follow-up examination 5 days later, the physical examination was normal and abdominal palpation was not painful. A biopsy report confirmed the diagnosis of a liver cyst. A follow-up abdominal ultrasonography performed 6 months after surgery revealed no recurrence of the liver cyst. Relevance and novel information To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing the laparoscopic technique of liver cystectomy and omentopexy in veterinary medicine. Minimally invasive surgery is gaining widespread acceptance within the veterinary community because of its benefits. However, further investigation with prospective studies are necessary.

Abstract	For dairy cattle breeding as well as animal welfare science reliability and validity issues regarding measures of cows’ responsiveness towards humans are relevant. The objective of this study was to investigate reliability and validity aspects of four selected behavioural measures at the feeding gate (BM) and to compare them with existing breeding traits and with observations of cows’ behaviour during milking. This included the analysis of criterion validity at animal and at herd level and of repeatability of the BM over time. Data on avoidance distances (AD), tolerance to tactile interaction (TTI), release behaviour (RB), and qualitative behaviour assessment (QBA) were collected on a total of 33 dairy farms. The breeding traits average milk flow (AMF), milking speed (MS), and milking temperament (MT) had been recorded per test-day or during linear description by milk testing or breeding associations. Inter- and intra-test associations were investigated by Spearman rank or Pearson correlation analysis. At animal level, significant correlations of different strengths were found within BM ranging from rs=0.28 (p<0.01, n=1890) between AD and TTI to rs=0.74 (p<0.01, n=582) between RB and QBA, and between MS and MT (rs=0.62, p<0.01, n=269). No significant correlations were found between BM and breeding traits. For analyses at herd level, medians and percentages of certain categories were calculated and the average number of stepping (STEP) and kicking (KICK) per cow during milking was recorded. Between all BM closer correlations were found than at animal level. STEP correlated with KICK (rs=0.80, p<0.01, n=24), while no further significant correlations were found between BM, STEP or KICK and breeding traits. For analysis of repeatability BM were applied repeatedly on three farms following a three-week interval. Correlations ranged from rs=0.33 (p<0.01, n=67) for TTI to rs=0.73 (p<0.01, n=23) for QBA. Apparently, behavioural measures at the feeding gate reflect partly similar and partly different aspects of cows’ responsiveness towards humans. The present study underlines methodological problems that exist with MT and MS, and questions the relationship between milkability, milking behaviour and responsiveness in the barn. The analyses show that AD, TTI, and RB appear to be vulnerable to short- or mid-term influences. Overall, QBA turned out to be a promising measure for breeding and welfare assessment.
